    I don’t take my test until the 31, but I am starting to not get much more out of Becker. I have studied all the material and I am scoring very well on the quizzes. The problem is, half the time I know the answer because I have seen the question so many times. I am thinking about supplementing my test bank with other material.

    I am really just looking for more questions, I don’t care about lectures/materials. I am looking at the Wiley test bank. It looks alright for about 50$. I think there are about 640 questions and 17 sims. I also looked into Becker’s final review, but I am not laying down over 200$ for it.

    Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!

    FAR: 81
    REG: 75
    BEC: 87
    AUD: 90

    I would absolutely recommend the Wiley test bank. The questions are challenging and I used them in addition to Becker for FAR for my weak areas. There are a LOT of duplicate questions from Becker – just to warn you. But there are additional questions and a lot of SIMS to practice from.

    Is this for AUD or BEC? For AUD, I personally think that Becker does the job and supplementing a test bank is not necessary.

    Good luck!

    BEC - 76 (Becker only)
    AUD - 71, 76 (Becker only)
    FAR - 65, 74, 81! (Becker, Wiley Test Bank, Ninja notes & Audio)

    Sorry, forgot to mention this was for BEC.

    I remember Becker barely preparing me for REG, as you can see from my score below. Becker was great for FAR though.

    Honestly, I would only supplement Becker if you feel like you are getting bored and or memorizing the MC questions. The third time I took FAR, I had the questions memorized and it was making me nervous so I supplemented like crazy.

    My opinion is that Becker is sufficient to pass all 4 parts of the exam. Others disagree. But anytime I failed it was 100% due to my lack of preparation or anxiety issues. If I would have trusted Becker and did everything they suggested, I would have passed all 4 parts on 1 shot.

    Yeah, I was still struglying with the FAR material when I took it and did fine, and I “mastered” the REG material and barely scrapped by.

    Thanks for the input! Just found out my co-worker has a 2011 Wiley BEC book, so I will definitely start with that.
